Abstract

The root *trg came from the North-German (Scandinavian, Nordic)
languages into the Slavic ones, also to Baltic and some Balkanic
languages, too. The possible contacts within the latest two ones
are maintained in the paper, by the Baltic Galindai tribes
(Slavic Goljađ) which inhabited down to South up to the
Carpathian Mountains. The Illyrian Tergeste (name of Triest)
provides the Balkanicn origin of the word, however, the Nordic
origin is definitely evidenced. Author is of the opinion about
the origin of North Germna across the Baltic peoples, the latest
spead this word down to the Balcan, too. The quiestion remains
open; the possible hypotheses are surveyed in the paper.
